    I’ve heard the new Lyman manual has .458 socom data but I thought I read somewhere that the amount of data published was limited. Anyone here have a copy?

    The don't have the new Lyman book. I have the Lyman book for AR rifles and .458socom data is very limited there. I use the data from the Teppo Jutsu website mostly.

    The data for the .458 SOCOM is the same in Lyman’s 50th Edition as their AR Handbook.

    I tried a new mold this weekend. A 459-375 from Mountain Molds, seems pretty good with a couple loads from some of my 405 grain data. Gas checked bore rider with no crimp groove. I got it out of a group buy discussion that seems to have pooped out.

    Anyone have a 1200 FPS 500 grain cast load to dupliciate the old TD springfield load

    It is not hard to get 500 gr to 1200 FPS. Most people load down to subsonic loads with their 500 gr boolets. I believe I got mine up to 1375 fps using H335.
